We were surprised to see the sun
shining this morning when we got up since the forecast is for rain today.It was quite a lovely morning but the clouds
did start rolling in and the rain started around noon.

Steve decided to walk down to the
lake and do a little fishing by the creek.I baked cookies and worked on our travel blog. When I started to hear the pitter-patter of
raindrops, I figured it wouldn’t be long before Steve returned.Sure enough, he was soon back...he apparently
caught a fish on his first cast but lost it while fumbling for his camera
(sounds like a good fish story to me!)

The rest of the afternoon was
spent inside...I was on the laptop while Steve had taken over the iPad.By late afternoon, we tried sitting outside
under the awning and do some reading but it wasn’t long before we gave up that
idea and headed back inside...it was just too chilly out.

We watched a movie (J. Edgar
Hoover) and then a recorded program.After dinner and dishes, it had stopped raining so we went for a walk
around the campground...it’s amazing the number of weekend campers that have
arrived.And most are in tents...with
little kids...and in the rain!

About Us

We married in 1982 and our sons, Rob and Chris were born in 1983 and 1985. In 1990 we built our dream home in North Saanich just north of Victoria BC on 1.21 acres. We both had long careers, Dianne in Human Resources and Steve as Branch Manager for a controls systems wholesaler.
Steve always felt that there were no guarantees in life as far as health and mortality went, so we planned to retire early and RV full-time.
In late 2009 we began the build process on our custom Toy Hauler truck, taking delivery in early 2010. We moved into our new Montana 5th wheel in Feb 2010, living in it for 4 months while still working. In May 2010 we purchased 2 Yamaha Grizzly 550 ATVs. We're ready!
Just shy of our 55th birthdays, on June 25, 2010 we retired and started our life as gypsies.
We prefer dry camping (boondocking), getting as far away from civilization as possible. However, our size limits us from getting into all of those remote areas. Good thing we have the ATVs to explore with.
